According to Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Inc. (“CFP Board”) Consumer Advocate, Eleanor Blayney, CFP®, the average monthly Social Security benefit of $1,230 isn’t going to provide enough income to meet expenses. Retirees need a plan to spend their savings wisely while maintaining assets that grow and generate income.

Recognizing the growing need for accessible financial advice, four national non-profit organizations – Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards, Financial Planning Association, Foundation for Financial Planning and the U.S. Conference of Mayors – are collaborating to offer free, no-strings-attached Financial Planning Days in two dozen cities across the United States throughout October.
